Kufiya

A Palestinian keffiyeh (or kafiyah) is a traditional Middle Eastern headscarf, made of cotton and woven in a distinctive checkered pattern. This classic design features black and white, though red and white variations also exist. It is often worn as a symbol of Palestinian identity and resistance. The keffiyeh is not only a practical garment, providing protection from the sun and dust, but it also carries deep cultural and political significance. Its patterns are said to represent different Palestinian regions, and it has become an iconic symbol of solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
